McDonald's just launched its latest "famous orders" collaboration with South Korean pop band BTS.
The meal includes chicken nuggets, fries, a drink, and two new sauces.
I tried the meal and ranked it, worst to best, against the chain's other two celebrity collabs with Travis Scott and J Balvin.

My least favorite McDonald's celebrity collaboration meal was J Balvin's order.

The J Balvin meal comes with a Big Mac minus the pickles.

The Big Mac admittedly looked naked without its signature pickles.

The sandwich needed something extra to make this worth ordering again.

J Balvin also eats his fries with ketchup.

It tasted like a McDonald's fry and ketchup - nothing more and nothing less.

I did like that J Balvin orders a McFlurry with his meal.

However, I don't know if it would be worth it to order a McFlurry without getting it for free with the meal.

I was really impressed by Travis Scott's collaboration with McDonald's.

The Quarter Pounder came on a fluffy sesame seed bun.

I would definitely order this burger again.

Travis Scott's meal also comes with barbecue sauce to dip your fries in.

The BTS meal is McDonald's newest celebrity collaboration, so I was excited to try it out.

The meal comes with a Cajun sauce and sweet chili sauce for the nuggets and fries.

The first new sauce I tried was the Cajun sauce.

The sauce was similar in consistency to a spicy mayo and had a delicious kick.

The sauce perfectly coated the nuggets.

I also tried it with the fries and was just as impressed.

The other new sauce included in the meal collaboration is a sweet chili sauce.

The sweet chili sauce was less spicy right off the bat but had more of a kick in the aftertaste.

It tasted similar to other sweet chili sauces I've tried in the past.

I thought it worked well with the fries but I definitely preferred the Cajun sauce with both menu items.
