Step 1
Preheat your broiler to high. Line a sheet pan with foil.
Step 2
Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in brown sugar, bourbon, vinegar, and smoked paprika. Simmer 2 minutes, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and glaze thickens slightly.
Step 4
Brush ribs generously on both sides with glaze. Arrange meat-side up on the prepared sheet pan.
Step 5
Broil 4–5 minutes, watching closely, until glaze caramelizes and bubbles at the edges. Do not let it burn.
Step 6
Flip ribs, brush with remaining glaze, and broil 2–3 minutes more until the second side is sticky and golden.
