This blog post - https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/engineering/2014/10/new-apex-queueable-interface.html - suggests that Queueable should be used in place of Schedulable from now on to avoid suicidal scheduling.

However, with scheduled jobs, you can set the start time. So I have a scheduled job that runs, schedules another job to start in 5 minutes and then aborts itself.

Is it possible to implement this kind of delay/start time approach with the Queueable interface? Or do chained Queueable jobs always run immediately?

Queueable run as fast as possible once they are enqueued (System.enqueueJob()).

Queueable has some benefits over using @future, the other aysnc "immediate" execution path, but neither has the delay you are looking for.

Schedulable is what you want if you want a delay.
