The Hani is a type of sandwich that originated in the Midwest region of the United States. It is particularly popular in Michigan, where it is a staple in many local restaurants and diners.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The Hani sandwich typically consists of the following ingredients:

  • Chicken: Grilled or fried chicken strips are the primary protein in the sandwich.
  • Pita bread: The sandwich is usually served in a warm pita bread.
  • Cheese: Often, a slice of American cheese or Swiss cheese is used.
  • Lettuce: Fresh lettuce adds a crisp texture.
  • Tomato: Sliced tomatoes provide a juicy component.
  • Mayonnaise: A spread of mayonnaise adds creaminess to the sandwich.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The preparation of a Hani sandwich involves grilling or frying the chicken strips until they are fully cooked. The pita bread is then warmed, and the chicken is placed inside. Cheese is added on top of the chicken, followed by fresh lettuce and tomato slices. Finally, a generous spread of mayonnaise is applied to complete the sandwich.

Serving[edit | edit source]

The Hani sandwich is typically served hot, often accompanied by a side of French fries or a salad. It is a popular choice for a quick and satisfying meal.
