Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook meatballs, turning often, for 5 minutes until evenly browned. Place meatballs onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle meatballs with sweet chilli sauce. Bake for 10 minutes or until cooked through.
