This is an old answer. I'll suggest you check out how the popular angular-modules on github do it or simply use them:

Because of problems with calls at the start of the app I use the following approach, which loads the app only after the SDK has been loaded:

window.fbAsyncInit = function () {
FB.init({
    appId: window.fbConfig.appID,
    channelUrl: '//' + window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname + 'channel.php',
    status: window.fbConfig.oInitOptions.bStatus || true,
    cookie: window.fbConfig.oInitOptions.bCookie || true,
    xfbml: window.fbConfig.oInitOptions.bXfbml || true
});


// Get Login Status once at init
window.FB.getLoginStatus(function (oResponse) {
    if (oResponse && oResponse.status) {
        window.fbConfig.sAuthStatus = oResponse.status;
    }

    // Bootstrap app here only after the sdk has been loaded
    angular.bootstrap(document.body, ['fbAngularApp']);
});
};

// Load the SDK Asynchronously
(function (d) {
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {
    return;
}
js = d.createElement('script');
js.id = id;
js.async = true;
js.src = '//connect.facebook.net/' + window.fbConfig.lng + '/all.js';
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
}(document));
