Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and cherry cola. Mix well to create the marinade.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Place them in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.
Pour half of the marinade over the drumsticks, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
Marinate the drumsticks in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil or directly on the grill grates. Discard the used marinade.
Bake or grill the drumsticks for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade every 10 minutes.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the drumsticks with any remaining marinade and allow them to caramelize.
Check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven or grill, let rest for a few minutes, and serve hot.
