After a few bites in, I was thinking that I must not have hit the spicy stuff yet. There was quite a bit of mayo on the sandwich, so maybe that tamped down the spice a bit. Surely, as I kept eating, I'd find that killer spice that requires a quick drink of the supplied milkshake, right?

NOPE! I'd rank this as less spicy than Taco Bell's "Fire" sauce. Maybe they made mine too mild, who knows. Most likely this is just a gimmick to drive business in the door. If you seek out spicy foods, you can cross this off your list before spending your money.

As for the taste of the sandwich itself, it was good. Very flavorful, but not spicy. If I was at an Arby's and was in the mood for chicken and not roast beef, I'd get it again.

If I were looking for a good fast food spicy chicken sandwich, then for me, it's Popeye's. It's not all that hot, but it's delicious and well prepared by the restaurant closest to me. To be fair, I've had them at other Popeye's and they weren't nearly as good. YMMV.

I can confirm this.
The chicken sandwich was very good no doubt, but it was not very spicy. Stuffed Jalepeno cheddar poppers are 2 or 3 times hotter.
