• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Working in batches, put the meatballs in the Dutch oven in a single layer (don't crowd the pan) and cook until lightly seared and just browned, about 2 minutes per side. (The meatballs will not be cooked through at this point, they will finish cooking in the sauce.) Transfer meatballs to a plate as they cook.
• Wipe out the Dutch oven, then return the meatballs to the pot. Add the remainder of the bottle of wing sauce (about 9 ounces) to the pot. Simmer over low heat, covered, until the meatballs are cooked through, about 30 to 60 minutes.
