Chicken shawarma/döner may use thigh, breast or combinations; there is no single universal 'shawarma cut'. Research on chicken döner shows that marinade, added fat, layer thickness, heat source and slicing process affect the final product. For U.S. food-safety guidance, USDA recommends poultry reach 165°F (73.9°C); businesses must follow local rules.
