Arby's is famed for its meats, but it also makes spicy menu items to test consumers' tolerance. In 2022, the Diablo Dare Challenge provided
customers the chance to try its hottest sandwiches and a little milder Spicy Roast Beef Sandwich. Arby's new "Sweet Heat" line is adding spice
Arby's new King's Hawaiian Sweet Heat Chicken Sandwich, Beef 'n Brisket Sandwich, and Loaded Fries share a sweet and spicy sauce.
Before heat-weary clients dismiss the new alternatives, the sauce's spice levels look moderate. As its name implies
Arby's describes each new menu item online as "a little sweet and has a little heat" with its sauce.
The Sweet Heat Beef 'n Brisket Sandwich has 13-hour smoked brisket, thinly sliced roast beef, cheddar cheese, crispy onions, sweet garlic and dill pickles,
and sweet & spicy sauce. The chicken variant replaces beef and brisket with a crispy chicken fillet and adds lettuce and tomato. All other toppings remain.
Arby's serves both sandwiches on a toasted bun from King's Hawaiian, a bakery that manufactures Hawaiian sweet bread.
The Loaded Fries have crinkled fries, a warm cheddar cheese sauce, diced chicken nuggets, chopped bacon, and the sweet & spicy sauce.
