Turn and continue to grill until outside of meatballs are browned, 2 minutes longer.Brush meatballs with sauce, then turn and brush again. Baste and turn until meatballs are glazed and cooked through, about 1 minute more (if they start to burn, reduce heat or move to a cooler part of the grill). Serve with remaining dipping sauce.
• For poaching:
• Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a large pot over medium-low heat; season with salt. Add meatballs and cook, covered, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• For baking:
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a glass or metal baking dish with oil.
• Roll meatballs in oil until coated. Roast until meatballs are firm and cooked through (a meat thermometer inserted into the center should read 165°F), about 15 minutes.
