At a guess, the 90% peroxide started out reacting with the boot
materials (relatively) slowly, after a few tens of seconds heating
things up to the point of filling the boot with combustible gases, which
then ignited FWOOMP as observed.

Wow. I knew peroxide caused spontaneous combustion with some organics, but I didn't think it was quite that violent.....

Though the chicken drumstick that gets ejected seems superfluous. Meat
just bleaches in peroxide, it's not very reactive.
