Arby's Half Pound Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak
A half pound of seasoned chicken with melted white American Cooper cheese, caramelized onions, and spicy sauce on a toasted sesame seed sub roll.
About the Half Pound Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak
Arby's builds the Half Pound Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak for people who want heat and volume in one order, and it sells for $14.98 with 1,250 cal. Inside the toasted sesame seed sub roll you get a half pound of seasoned chicken, caramelized onions, spicy sauce and Cooper white American cheese melted over everything.
This is the supersized take on the Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak. More chicken means the sauce spreads across a bigger pile of meat, so the heat feels a touch more even and less concentrated than on the regular size. The first impression is creamy spice, followed by savory chicken and a soft finish of sweet onion. Cooper cheese melts through the whole stack and keeps the burn friendly.
Physically, it is a commitment. The filling overflows the roll, the sauce runs into the cheese, and the sesame crust is the only firm part of the sandwich. Grab extra napkins and a fork for anything that escapes. Up close you see browned chicken bits, strands of amber onion and a streaky orange glaze of sauce across everything.
Nutrition backs up the size. Protein reaches 88 grams, which matches the other half pound chicken subs, and the calorie count sits near the top of the cheesesteak lineup. Of the three half pound chicken choices, this spicy version runs the highest in calories because of the sauce.
If you are checking the Half Pound Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak price before you order, the Austin, Texas figure above lands between the plain and deluxe half pound chicken subs. Expect a slightly different number at other locations. It is a strong pick for a big appetite after practice, a shared order between two people with sides, or a single meal on a day when lunch got skipped.
What separates it from the Half Pound Spicy Angus Cheesesteak is the protein source and the weight. The chicken version runs lower in calories and higher in protein than the beef one, while keeping the same sauce, cheese and onions. Both live on the Arby's cheesesteak menu.
A Vanilla Shake is the classic way to tame the heat, and a side of Crinkle Fries gives you something plain and salty between spicy bites.

How to Make Half Pound Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak at Home?
A sheet pan roast for the seasoned chicken frees up the stovetop for the onions and keeps this two sandwich recipe hands off. The spicy sauce is a quick stir of mayonnaise and hot sauce, and the half pound portions match the size of the Arby's sub.

Sandwich
Steps
All steps done. Enjoy your homemade Half Pound Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak.
Tips
- • Spread the chicken out on the pan; touching pieces steam rather than brown.
- • Mix the sauce first so the flavors blend while everything else cooks.
- • For more heat, add a pinch of cayenne directly to the chicken before roasting.
Variations
- • Use boneless thighs and roast for 18 minutes for juicier meat.
- • Swap the chipotle sauce for sriracha for a brighter, garlicky heat.
- • Split the filling across four slider buns for a party platter.
Serving Ideas
These subs are filling on their own, so a side of crinkle cut fries or pickles is enough. A vanilla milkshake or a tall glass of milk helps with the spice.
