angel wing

Heavenly being's limb

Angel wing refers to several things united by the shape of a bird's outstretched wing.

In cooking, angel wing pasta is a delicate, ruffled variety.

Angel wings are also a fried pastry dusted with powdered sugar, traditional in Polish and Italian cuisines.

In waterfowl, angel wing is a deformity where the wing joint twists outward, causing feathers to point away from the body rather than lying flat.
