Easy way to put jQuery Plugins into Angular?

I'm having to use tons of Angular on my new job.

And Angular UI and UI Bootstrap frankly are sucking pretty bad so-far. And most likely will never be majorly updated with Angular 2 evangalists spouting hellfire at 1.X and jQuery. (http://tech.zumba.com/2014/08/02/angularjs-forget-jquery/) {http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14994391/thinking-in-angularjs-if-i-have-a-jquery-background)

But, the unheap.com site is pretty damnazing (that's damn amazing).

Are there any good (non-hacky) ways to include or implement jQuery into Angular?

I've considered throwing jQuery into a $timeout function lower on my controller pages. I've seen also people putting them in directives. But they're not very pretty or easy to implement. And half the time, these don't work.
