How to make a boss summon other mobs/ minions?

Hello
I'm trying to make a custom mob boss that after a certain time like a minute it would summon 5 custom mob entities that attack the play? I have tried multiple ways that ended up either not doing anything, spawns hundreds at once instantly or in a minute and keeps summoning, or stops everything except the player moving and even freezes mcreator.
If anyone knows how it would be greatly appreciated if you can help
thank you

Its not exactly the most efficient way probably, but wouldnt something like this work? Give the Boss entity a logic parameter (in entity - synced data)

You could technically put it anywhere, but if you have a procedure with the rest of your boss logic, I think it'd be the best to put it there. If you dont have anything like that, then I think entity tick trigger should do
