-
Mix together brown sugar, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl until combined. Add rib tips and mix until ribs are thoroughly coated. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking tray or broiler rack with aluminum foil.

Cook ribs under the preheated broiler until sauce is hot and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
