About the Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak
Heat seekers who prefer poultry tend to land on the Arby's Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak, a $7.99 sub with 760 cal. Inside a toasted sesame seed sub roll, Arby's stacks seasoned chicken and caramelized onions, then spicy sauce, then a layer of melted Cooper white American cheese.
The sauce changes the character of the sandwich completely. On the plain Chicken Cheesesteak, the onions are the loudest flavor. Here the spicy sauce takes over, adding a creamy, peppery kick that builds as you eat. Cooper cheese keeps the burn in check with its soft, buttery melt, and the caramelized onions add a sweet layer that pairs naturally with chili heat. The chicken itself is savory and lightly seasoned, which gives the sauce a clean base to stand on.
In the hand, it is soft and saucy with a toasted shell. The sesame roll adds a nutty crunch at the edges, then the filling turns rich and a little messy. Look for orange streaks of sauce running through the white cheese and golden chicken, a sign that every bite gets some heat.
The Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak calories figure sits above the plain chicken version, mostly because of the added sauce, while protein stays strong at 49 grams. Compared with the beef based Spicy Angus Cheesesteak, this one is lighter and costs less, and it still delivers more protein.
On price, the Austin, Texas Arby's that supplies our numbers charges a small premium over the plain chicken sub for the sauce. Prices vary by location, so treat that figure as a guide. This sandwich suits a lunch break when you want something bold, a game night order for friends who like heat, or anyone who finds the beef cheesesteaks too heavy. The heat level is noticeable without being punishing, so most people who enjoy buffalo wings will be comfortable.
It also stands out on the Arby's cheesesteak menu as the middle ground between the mild chicken builds and the richer beef options. If one is not enough, the half pound spicy chicken version uses the same recipe with a bigger portion.
Cool your mouth with a Jamocha Shake, or add a crunchy contrast with a side of Potato Cakes.

How to Make Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak at Home?
A warm, buttery hot sauce makes this home Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak taste close to the drive thru version, and it soaks into the chopped chicken the way a cold sauce cannot. The recipe makes four sandwiches in about 40 minutes.
Ingredients
Chicken
Spicy sauce
Sandwich
Steps
All steps done. Enjoy your homemade Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak.
Tips
- • Cool the butter and hot sauce mixture slightly before adding mayonnaise so it does not separate.
- • Thighs can go to 175°F without drying out, which gives them a more tender bite in a saucy sandwich.
- • Taste the sauce and add another spoonful of hot sauce if you want it closer to wing heat.
Variations
- • Replace the hot sauce with a sweet chili sauce for a milder, sticky glaze.
- • Use pepper jack slices for a double dose of spice.
- • Stuff the saucy chicken into a toasted flour tortilla for a spicy chicken wrap.
Serving Ideas
Serve with crispy potato cakes or celery sticks and ranch to cool things down. A coffee milkshake or a cold soda balances the heat.
