SUNNY'S EASY CHICKEN PARM DOG

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Put the hot dogs on the direct heat of the grill and cook until desired doneness.
• In a pan on medium heat, add the olive oil, breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt and few grinds of pepper. Toast, stirring, until the breadcrumbs soak up the oil and become golden, a few minutes. Toss in the parsley and basil off heat.
• Open each bun and stuff with equal amounts of mozzarella. Wrap in aluminum foil and place over the indirect heat of the grill (or in a warm oven, about 300 degrees F). Remove when a check inside reveals melted mozzarella. Spray the tops of each lightly with butter spray, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the buns, return to the grill or oven and cook until the tops are a bit crusty and stiff, a few more minutes.
• Put the hot dogs over the melted mozzarella in the buns. Top with pizza sauce and grated Parmesan.

SUNNY'S CHICKEN PARM MINI MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the breadcrumbs: The night before, toast the wheat bread and leave out overnight to dry out.
• The following day, crumble the toasted wheat bread to the consistency of pebbles and sand in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the potato base: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Dunk each piece of potato in the butter and pat dry a little. Line the bottoms and all the way up the sides of 6 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with 2 to 3 layers of potato slices (about 15 slices per muffin cup), so that the potatoes come up about 1/4 inch over the top. Fill the empty cups with water. Bake until the potatoes are golden, about 25 minutes. Set aside.
• For the chicken meatloaf: Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add the lemonade and reserved breadcrumbs and stir until mushy. Add the Parmesan, onion, Worcestershire, salt, chile flakes, garlic, egg and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until it forms a loose paste. Add the chicken and tomatoes and fold with your hands until everything is combined. This should be sticky!
• Press some of the chicken mixture into each potato-lined muffin cup. Press a sprig of thyme on top of each. Refill each empty cup with water. Bake until the meatloaf edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly for 5 minutes, then remove each loaf with a spatula or butter knife. Serve with Meatloaf Gravy if desired.
• In a small pot on medium heat, add the butter and flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture stops foaming and deepens a bit to a light golden color. Add the Worcestershire and garlic and whisk to combine. Add the thyme, then whisk while slowly pouring in the stock and lemonade. Whisk until reduced and thickened to gravy consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
