Arby's Chicken Slider Kids Meal

About the Chicken Slider Kids Meal

The Chicken Slider Kids Meal at Arby's is priced at $4.99 and listed at 570 cal, which tucks one crunchy tender and a slice of Swiss cheese into a pillowy mini roll, plus a drink you pick. It is the crunchiest of the three slider meals on the kids board and the heartiest by calories.

Arby's pitches the chicken slider to sandwich lovers who have never tried its crispy chicken tenders, calling it their moment to branch out. For kids, the logic runs the other way. Most children already love chicken tenders, and this slider simply puts one inside a bun with a slice of cheese, so it feels like a real sandwich without any surprises.

The tender brings the crunch. Its golden breading crackles on the first bite, and the chicken inside stays tender and mild. Swiss melts slightly from the heat of the chicken and adds a creamy, gently nutty layer. The soft bun squishes around everything and keeps crumbs from flying across the back seat.

Nothing about it is spicy or saucy, so it suits younger eaters and picky ones alike. The flavor reads as savory fried chicken with a little cheese, about as familiar as a kids meal gets.

The Chicken Slider Kids Meal price matches the ham and roast beef slider meals on the Austin board we follow. Other cities can run a little higher or lower. If your child does not need a drink, the Chicken Slider also sells by itself on the value menu.

For parents watching Chicken Slider Kids Meal calories, this one sits above the other slider meals because the fried tender carries more than shaved ham or roast beef. Arby's lists it at 570 cal, compared with 430 cal for the roast beef version. A water or milk pick for the drink keeps sugar in check.

It fits an after school stop, a lunch on a busy Saturday, or a family order where the adults grab chicken sandwiches and the kids want a smaller match. Arby's even notes the slider works as a side to your usual sandwich, which makes it easy for a parent to steal a bite.

For a full tray, add Tree Top Applesauce as a fruit side, or let an older sibling go big with a Crispy Chicken Sandwich. More kid options sit on the Arby's kids menu.
