Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Remove the thin membrane from the underside by sliding a knife under it and peeling it away.
Step 2
Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, pressing gently so it adheres.
Step 4
Arrange ribs bone-side down on a foil-lined broiler pan. Position rack 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 5
Broil for 20 minutes. Flip and broil another 15–18 minutes until the edges are charred and meat pulls back from the bone.
Step 6
Remove from the broiler and rest for 5 minutes. Slice between the bones and serve hot.
