Introducing the Henwich: UD’s new signature sandwich 3 ways
February 28, 2025
Three styles, one incredible sandwich: Try the Henwich today
Blue Hens, get ready to taste the best of University of Delaware. The Henwich—Dining’s newest signature sandwich—is here to wow you with a crispy, buttery chicken sandwich.
Last semester, Dining Services called on members of the UD community to vote for their favorite menu item to represent the University of Delaware, and the results are in: the Henwich reigned supreme. Created by Michael Ryan, director of operations, this masterpiece is available in three delicious styles:
- Original Henwich: Crispy chicken, smoky bacon, fresh greens, juicy tomato and a zesty house-made sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
- Angrywich: A spicy, tangy twist that adds fiery flavor to the classic Henwich.
- Plainwich: A simple yet satisfying sauce-free option for those who prefer it classic.
Dining Services debuted the Henwich with a surprise giveaway at Perkins Student Center, where staff handed out 200 Henwiches to lucky students. The response? Overwhelming excitement!
Even the Student Government Association (SGA) got a taste, calling it the “Best thing ever” in an enthusiastic Instagram comment.
Want to try it yourself? The Henwich will be back for a special giveaway at the women’s basketball game on March 8, where the first 50 students will receive one free. Can’t make it? The Henwich will also be available for purchase at the UD Farmers Market on March 12, at Mentors' Circle, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Don’t forget to share your Henwich moments on social media using #Henwich and tag @DiningUD for a chance to be featured.
Get ready, Blue Hens—your new favorite sandwich is here.
