A winter annual, henbit has green oval leaves and purple flowers that bloom in spring, giving the plant a chance to self-sow before dying in the summer. This is an opportunistic weed that takes advantage of thin or bare spots in your lawn to establish itself. Therefore, the first step you need to take to kill henbit is to give your grass the care it requires to grow strong and capable of overpowering this and other weeds. Henbit also invades garden beds. If cultural controls don't eliminate it, herbicides are your next option. LINK

Chickweed and Henbit are close to one another and the same herbicides will kill them.

Good enough for me

2,4-D, dicamba, and mecoprop (MCPP)

A three way herbicide of any brand is going to contain these 3 products in different percentages

Can I just wait for the weed and feed thing this spring to rid of the henbit.
