Two Arby's fan favorites are making a comeback for the first time in nearly a decade
After spending nearly 10 years off Arby's menus, two fan-favorite sandwiches are back at participating stores nationwide.
The Bourbon BBQ brisket and Bourbon BBQ chicken sandwiches made their comeback on August 12.
'It's been six years since the sandwiches, made with smoky bourbon flavors and sweet brown sugar bacon, last appeared on menus at the same time,' an Arby's spokesperson told McClatchy News.
The Bourbon BBQ Chicken Sandwich starts at $7.49, and the Bourbon BBQ Brisket Sandwich at $8.29.
Unfortunately, these chicken sandwiches are back for a limited time only, and Arby's has not confirmed when it will take them off menus once again.
Arby's began offering its Bourbon BBQ brisket and Bourbon BBQ chicken sandwiches August 12, nearly 10 years after their original release
The Bourbon BBQ chicken sandwich features a crispy chicken fillet covered in melted cheddar cheese.
It is completed with brown sugar bacon, onions, and a special bourbon barbecue sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
The Bourbon BBQ brisket sandwich comes with all the same features as the Bourbon BBQ chicken.
The only difference between these two is the meat, and the brisket is smoked for 13 hours before those sandwiches are made, according to Allrecipes.
These two sandwiches are not the only Arby's fan favorites that are back for a limited time.
'We can’t wait for the original Bourbon BBQ lovers to sink their teeth into these flavorful, beloved menu items, and for new Arby’s fans to also try,' said Tiffany Cameron, Arby’s VP of Integrated Communications.

Arby's classic Potato cakes returned to participating US locations on July 1 after a three-year hiatus from the menu.
The return came after the snack's 'passionate fanbase' insisted Arby's put the item back on its menu, according to its July 1 news release.
'In the past year alone, Potato cakes have been mentioned more than 10,000 times on social media, with loyalists issuing passionate pleas for their revival,' the news release read.
'From the thousands of social posts to online petitions and even dedicated fan accounts, Arby’s knows the true adoration of Potato cakes devotees and is eager to please.'
