Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Remove the thin membrane from the bone side by sliding a knife under it and peeling it away.
Step 2
Mix paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper, and 1 tsp salt in a small bowl until blended.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the ribs, pressing gently so it adheres. Let sit 5 minutes.
Step 4
Arrange ribs on a broiler pan or rimmed sheet pan. Broil 6 inches from heat for 12 minutes until edges are charred and meat pulls back from bones.
Step 5
Flip ribs and broil another 10 minutes until the other side is caramelized and ribs look glazed.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Brush or drizzle with vinegar. Let rest 2 minutes, then slice between bones and serve hot.
