Yes, you can absolutely live off of that. The average (37 hr/wk with 2 weekends) McDonald's worker earns 23.000 DKK/mo, after taxes that's around 15.000 DKK ($2200). On top of that, both Burger King and McDonald's have unions that secure better pay for their workers every year AND they even have career paths and offer further education within their industry.
As a bonus, we also have these nice and seasonal burgers that they collaborate with celebrity chefs and food-bloggers. I believe they're called homestyle burgers. Very fresh, tasty and delicious - very good for the average danish palate.
Now, obviously, living for 15k/mo in one of the bigger cities is going to be hard if you're single or don't have a roommate - it is doable, but then you'll either have to be lucky and having been on a waiting list for 10+ years, or you're going to have to buy an "andelsbolig". But if you work in, say, Copenhagen and live about 1 hour drive from work (so anywhere on the western and southern part of Sjælland), you'll save a lot of money. Perhaps not in Slagelse and Næstved, but anywhere else is going to be significantly cheaper than Copenhagen.

Adding to the price of living… I live in a city with approx 15-20k people in Jutland.
My house cost me around 9000 DKK in mortgage a month, but that’s 225 square meters, with 800 square meters garden, it’s a newly renovated home, with new kitchen/bathroom and new roof, new windows etc. It’s in a nice, quiet neighbourhood but still close to shopping etc. So quite comfortable.
Which is totally affordable for a family where both mom and dad works at McDonalds.

225m2 house in Rønne. Paid off, but I give around 1500 a month for the property tax thing.
