Step 1
Position oven rack 4-6 inches from broiler. Pat ribs dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in brown sugar, vinegar, hot sauce, and paprika until smooth and glossy, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Lay ribs meat-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush generously with glaze, coating both sides.
Step 4
Broil 8-10 minutes without moving. Brush with remaining glaze and flip to bone-side up.
Step 5
Broil 4-5 minutes more until glaze bubbles and edges char slightly. Meat should pull back from bones.
Step 6
Rest 2 minutes, then slice between bones and serve hot.
